We get asked a variety of questions from our clients, based on Website Design through to Search Engine Optimisation – here are some of the most frequently asked questions. We hope they help you but if they don’t then please call us on 01902 239 010 and we will be happy to assist you.

Website Design and Development

Q – What sort of websites do you build?

We design and develop brochure style websites, ecommerce websites, blogs, custom built websites – such as a forum, directory, intranet. In other words – the type of website you need, we can build.

Q – Can I edit my website once it is developed?

Yes, most of it. Your website will be designed with a content management system. This system ensures that you can add and edit writing and images on your website. It allows you to change product information, add latest news and special offers as required. Whilst you are able to edit writing and pictures, colours and the layout the website cannot be changed without our assistance. No existing experience of content management systems are needed. The system is similar to using Microsoft Word.

Q – How quickly will my website be up and running?

Your website will be launched in the timescale you require, providing all necessary content and information have been supplied. For projects that need to be launched urgently (e.g. 2 weeks or less) – we do have an Express Service, with details being provided on request.

Q - Will my website be search engine optimised?

When designing and developing your website we will ensure that all aspects of search engine optimisation are considered. We will check through your content and ensure it is of high quality. If you would like continuous search engine optimisation (recommended for all business websites) then we offer you a search engine optimisation package to be started once the website is launched.

Q – Where can I get photos and text from for my website?

You may have photos that you need already which can be sent to us, however if you do not have any photos we are able to source these for you at an additional cost. Similarly, our in-house copywriter can create your website content if you do not have any.

Q – Can you add my content to my website for me?

Yes we are able to add your website content. If you would like us to add your website content on a long term basis (after your website is launched), we can do this with a support and maintenance contract and monthly or adhoc fee.

Q – Can I see my website before it is launched?

Yes. You will be provided with an image of your website when it is designed. Once your website has been developed, you will be given a testing link where you can click around your website and review it before launch.

Online Marketing

Q – What is a search engine friendly website design?

Your website needs to be optimised so that it is accessible in Google and other search engines. Being a responsive website is also crucial for search engine friendliness.

Q – When will I see results from my SEO?

SEO can take time and is an on-going process, however our clients see results within four to twelve weeks of starting SEO with us. Factors which we need to consider before starting SEO are the current state of your website, responsiveness, content, crawl rate, keyword competitiveness and competitors’ position.

Q – I have an existing website; can you carry out SEO on it?

If your website is built with an attached Content Management System, then we can start an SEO plan. If it does not have a content management system please contact us for more information.

Q – If my website is not responsive, can SEO still be carried out?

Make it Seen Media advise that your website is responsive before any SEO work is carried out.

Mobile Friendly Websites

Q – My website shows up on my phone, does this mean it is mobile friendly?

No, not necessarily. A true mobile friendly website is tailored to the needs of mobile users and has the capabilities required by mobile users. The mobile version of your website may look simpler, however it will maintain a similar look and feel to that of your main website.

Q – My website does not look right on mobile devices, what should I do?

We can make your website mobile friendly and responsive – please contact us for more information.

Q – I have a mobile app, is this the same as having a mobile friendly website?

No, apps are for specific mobile phones and are much harder to build and access by users. A mobile friendly website is a website that will work on any mobile device and is easy to access.

Q – Will my new website work on iPads and iPhones?

Yes, all of the websites that are designed and developed by Make it Seen Media work on all devices, including ipads, iphones, other phones, laptops and tablets.

Print

Q – Can you design my artwork for printing?

Yes, we are experienced professionals in all types of design, from business cards to leaflets to large outdoor banners.

Q – I already have artwork ready for printing, can you print it for me?

Yes, we are happy to review your artwork and ensure it is ready for print and then of course, print it for you.

Q – What format should my artwork be in?

Ideally we require the original artwork files, however if these are not readily available then a print ready PDF will be suffice.

Q – How quick is your print delivery?

Once artwork has been confirmed we can have your artwork delivered within 2-3 days.

How can I be more mobile friendly?

Being mobile friendly is not a choice, it a lifestyle method. It has to be done in order to keep above and beyond your competitors. The use of mobiles is not going to decrease anytime soon, with mobile usage being at an all-time high. Search engines such as Google understand this and allow the better mobile friendly websites to effectively show up higher in their search engines.

So, your website was launched a few years ago. Are things that can make your website look and feel dated. The average lifespan of a website design is 3 years, so if your website was created before that, it is important you review it and update as necessary.

Leaflets are an effective marketing tool – but they require creativity and commitment. Since we are now in the digital era – leaflets do get overlooked but there are ways to make them work for your business.
